Zak Waters

[NU-FUNK] I’m not surprised more people don’t follow in Zak Waters’ footsteps. The L.A.-based singer, songwriter and producer hasn’t let basking in the limelight back in 2012 deter him from being a one-man electro-pop band. His sunny, funky songs enthrall before they eventually grate, but his freshly released cover of Ginuwine's grinding classic “Pony” proves he’s got late-night chops to boot. A recent collaboration with Codi Caraco, though, shows Waters is also adept at dance floor-ready pop-house. I’m not sure where he’s headed, but watch your collective back, Jamiroquai.
